South Prong Mitten

The Mitten is found in the South Prong Canyon of Texas' Caprock Canyons State Park. The Caprock is a surprisingly beautiful landscape that few people outside of Texas...or even in Texas...are aware of. A great history of it and its near brush with National Park-hood can be read in Dan Flores' book "Caprock Canyonlands".

Thanks! I really appreciate it, since this area tends to slip through the cracks.

New Mexico has a special place in my heart, and I think about heading out there every day (though I am glad I live where I do). I am excited to see your submissions for the state and I really hope you continue to add stuff so I can travel there vicariously! By the way, I have the NG topo software for New Mexico and all the surrounding states, so if you want to add maps to anything, I am glad to send them your way!
